Central Logs

As long as Identity Synchronization for Windows components can access Message Queue, all audit
and error messages will be logged in the Identity Synchronization for Windows central logger. Consequently,
these central logs (which include messages from all components) are the primary logs to monitor.

The centralized logs are located on the machine where Core is installed, in the
following directories:
